What happens to lost items in the mall? Where do they go and how long do they remain there, guarded by whom? What are the spirits of these items in the mall? Do they tell mall stories? Let’s set out on a hunt, let’s lose and find something in Hoog Catharijne.
No one wants to waste time; instead we focus on useful information. What happens when we turn to the useless in the mall and start ‘framing’ it? What makes a useless frame? Is a collective frame possible? We will capture these moments, and physically apply them as ‘frames’ in the mall.
What is the average speed of a shopping bag? How quickly can your legs move you if you need to catch a train?

In what ways can we map our times differently?
